Psalm 128 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

A Song of [fn]Ascents.

Blessed [happy and sheltered by God’s favor] is everyone who fears the LORD [and worships Him with obedience],

Who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments.

For you shall eat the fruit of [the labor of] your hands,

You will be happy and blessed and it will be well with you.

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine

Within the innermost part of your house;

Your children will be like olive plants

Around your table.

Behold, for so shall the man be blessed and divinely favored

Who fears the LORD [and worships Him with obedience].

May the LORD bless you from Zion [His holy mountain],

And may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life;

Indeed, may you see your [family perpetuated in your] children’s children.

Peace be upon Israel!
